Arsenal’s top FIVE ‘weak links’ so far this season

Arsenal moved into the top four of the Premier League with a resounding 3-0 win over rock-bottom Burnley at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday.

Inspirational summer signing Alexis Sanchez proved the hero once more, scoring two goals to take his tally for the season to 10 in all competitions.

The Chilean has proved a revelation so far this term and after a stuttering start to the campaign that was littered with frustrating draws, four goals in two games from Sanchez and back-to-back wins may well have kickstarted their season.

But with Sanchez doing so much work on his own, it is fair to say there are a fair few in the Arsenal squad who have simply not turned up yet this season.

A title challenge already looks a tall order, with the Gunners sat nine points behind leaders Chelsea. With that in mind, we have identified the five ‘weak links’ in the Arsenal side so far this season.
